<div>Hello, my name is Sean Smith. Many locals in Winchester, and Frederick and surrounding counties here in Virginia are very familiar with my 9 German Shepherds, because I very seldom go anywhere without them. So they've kind of become celebrities in this area, and someone at Lowe's this evening said they're the most photographed dogs on social media. Even people that don't know me, video or photograph them in the parking lot of a store, on the road or even where I go to sing because they're amazed that they will not leave the truck for whatever length of time I want them to stay. They post them on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. I've recently had some legal issues regarding 5 of them and at the advice of my attorney, he wanted me to limit what information I shared about the case on social media. I can say, that it has nothing to do with them hurting anyone but, it does have to do with a neighbor and family who has constantly tried to use his appointed position in the county to bully me and has tried to tell me what to do with my property since I moved in here. He used to own it. My dogs have been at the Esther Boyd Animal Shelter since June of last year and my case is not scheduled to be heard until March. I have visited them as often as possible and supply their food. All of the employees at the shelter are very fond of my dogs and take great care of them however, even with increasing their feeding to 3 times a day, three of them are not maintaining a good weight. These funds will be used for their legal defense. I've had a lot of community support, and it's been very heartwarming.  My dogs are like my family and I don't want to lose them. I'm even trying to refinance my home and losing my great interest rate to try to raise funds but, it's not happening fast enough. So, I'm asking for the community to help, and any help is very much appreciated!
